Tree Planting Project 2006

The Odessa Rotary Club partnered with the Odessa East Rotary Club and the City of Odessa to provide trees for Memorial Gardens Park.  The two Rotary clubs donated the funding for the project while the City of Odessa procured the trees.

On February 11, 2006, the Rotary Club members gathered at Memorial Gardens Park to plant the trees in positions prepared by the City of Odessa Parks and Recreation Department.  The many strong backs of those in attendance made short work of planting the 38 Bradford pear trees that now line the walkway of the park.  The project, which only took a few hours to complete, promises to add to the beauty of the park for decades.
